Your Coaches as Recruiters

There are about 8 Asst Coaches on each of the 125 FBS teams who are also recruiters in one way or another. So that's about 1000 possible "recruiting" coaches altogether in the FBS.
Some Asst Coaches are known to be outstanding recruiters, they might not even be the best position coach, but there is no denying they get it done with recruiting.
Is your team dominated/benefited from having 1 of these "Power Recruiters" on staff, or do the coaches kind of share the load and everybody brings in some good players here and there?
Here's a ranking of the Asst Coaches as Recruiters from the 247 Composite.

Yes. Thigpen is an elite recruiter. Him and CBJ seem to bring in the bulk of the talent.
Eta: though he isn't on that list

Thigpen just about single handedly signed just over half our class last year. Gillespie and Mark Elder seem pretty solid as well. Butch seems to assist with the most critical recruits.

A&M has a staff full of recruiters. Brian Polian was a top recruiter recently, he went and got the Utah State job I believe. The whole staff has a hand in it almost equally. The only coach not really out on the road as much as most others, report wise, is Snyder, the DC.

Sam Pittman is by far the best recruiter Arky has had in decades

And of course the Number 1 recruiter, Mr. David Beaty.

UGA's staff has three coaches who have combined to win the 247 National Recruiter of the Year award the past four years (Bobo, Pruitt x2, McClendon) and John Lilly, who was the recruiting coordinator at FSU under Bowden.

Absolutely. Vince Marrow is the man and has been a huge part of not just the recruiting in Ohio but also has had some kids transfer in that'll be great. I can't wait for Nebraska transfer Braylon Heard to take the field.
